Upcoming events
Computed via Skyfield (NASA DE440s ephemeris). Retrogrades, lunar phases and major transits.
The tropical zodiac
The outer wheel represents the 12 tropical zodiac signs, divided into 30 degrees each. The vernal point (0° Aries) marks the spring equinox.
The planets
Each symbol on the wheel is a planet at its real position (NASA DE440s ephemeris). The Sun, Moon and 8 solar system planets are shown.
Retrograde
An "R" next to a planet means it's retrograde: an optical effect where the planet appears to move backward. In astrology, it's a time for review and introspection.
Lunar phase
The Moon's phase depends on the Sun-Moon angle. New moon (conjunction), first quarter, full moon (opposition), last quarter — a 29.5-day cycle.
The elements
Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). Planets in an element amplify its energy.
Degrees and positions
Each planet is placed at a precise degree within its sign (e.g. Venus 14° Taurus). Two planets close in degree form an aspect (conjunction, sextile, square, trine, opposition).
